Market liking Trumps odds so far pic.twitter.com/Y8H1xPSmPD
Bitcoin and altcoin prices seem to be mimicking the chances of Donald Trump's win, as the top cryptocurrency briefly touched $71,500. Altcoins are also rising rapidly, adding over $50 billion in market capitalization since Tuesday.
Crypto investors largely favor a Trump win due to his promises of establishing clear crypto regulations including replacing current Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler.
With Trump currently leading in the early results, Polymarket odds of a Trump victory surged over 70% for the first time on the platform. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk had predicted an outrageous 70% Trump lead over Harris in the elections.

Warren defeats Deaton in Massachusetts
Meanwhile, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has been championing an anti-crypto movement, defeated crypto advocate John E Deaton to win the Massachusetts senate seat.
Warren who’s a member of the Senate Banking Committee which oversees the SEC could end up as Chair of the committee if Democrats retain the senate, according to Fox Business Eleanor Terrett.
Now we focus on Ohio. If @SenSherrodBrown loses to @berniemoreno, there’s a possibility that @SenWarren could become the next ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee (if GOP takes Senate) or Chair (if Dems retain it).
